I definitely loved all : the acoustic of the church, the sound of this organ, your choices for the registration and your brilliant performance with a slightly higher tempo than usual that makes this "over played" piece to wake up and give it back his baroque native style. Bach pieces should be nicely highlighted by this particular organ. You should keep recording Bach's hits on it if you can.
Die Orgel hat auf jeden Fall was!! Und das Stück eignet sich find ich auch, sie Mal zu zeigen und va auch den Klang der Kirche! Ist schon bombastisch! Fast etwas erdrückend
Auch würde ich sagen: den Überblick mit der Kamera auf dem Spieltisch war sehr hilfreich. Bitte wiederholen Sie so einen Aufnahmewinkel in zukünftigen Videos!
Bombastischen Klang und perfekt gespielt. Wie immer top. Das gilt natürlich auch für die Person hinter der Kamera. Gehört auch einmal gesagt (gilt natürlich auch für die anderen Videos). Danke das ihr uns Zusehern das möglich macht!!!
I play the organ. I know many organists personally, some of whom are excellent organists. That being said, a lot of organists I have met are rather stuffy and have attitudes. It is evident when you what them play and when I have chatted with them. You are the complete opposite. Your head isn't up in the clouds. The attitude you have is very evident in your posture. Thanks for being down to earth! I love your videos. The world could certainly use more organists and musicians like you!
Hallo Fraser,hast Du toll gespielt,,,,,,man sieht Dir im Gesicht immer deutlich die Bewunderung fürs Instrument und den Kirchenraum an ....find ich klasse......
Ja. Audio-Aufnahmen können die Wirkung der Bässe auf den Bauch nicht annähernd wiedergeben ! Audio-Aufnahmen sind also quasi-kastrierte Wiedergaben ! Aber besser so als gar nicht !!!
Gosh, Fraser, what a superbly played rendition of this oft played piece. One of the best performances I have heard, one par with Simon Preston ..different, but in a similar class. I have never heard the Fugue played so fast, but it worked..you made it look so easy! And such an inspiring instrument to perform on...thanks very much.
Thanks for this video, Fraser! It's very interesting for me, because "my" organ is quite similar: Rieger, built in 1997, 58 stops on three manuals and pedal. Warm greetings from Dinkelsbühl!
This tempo is definitely fast for my taste, but hey you know what its your interpretation that matters. Magnificent performance, and execution of this rather misunderstood piece. Thank you very much for your content Maestro Gartshore. And best regards (Matt) :) P.S. This very piece was actually composed by Bach to convey his feelings towards the unending ethereal majesty and grandiosity of heaven. Its very disappointing that many only associate this piece and the pipe organ for that matter with horror oriented films and events. When really the Pipe Organ is hundreds of chapters more than that.
Ein beeindruckendes Werk wie die Toccata und Fuge auf so einer riesigen Orgel... einfach fantastisch! Auch wenn ich die Toccata mittlerweile schon fast nicht mehr hören kann, ist die Fuge immer noch herrlich.
You're back! And with a wonderful performance on a wonderful organ. I look forward to seeing more information and views of the organ and its surroundings in the upcoming videos.
It’s so beautiful I’ve always cried myself to the end of the fugue for 40 years. When I was a child, I listened to vinyl every day after school on Gábor Lehotka's organ playing. Over the years I have heard many kinds of toccata and fugues in D minor .... Thanks for this recording, the organ sounds beautiful! I still taste the performance :) I hope to see you in person one day!
Yes the ending of the fugue always makes me emotional. For me it’s the A major chord into the sublime A,D, Bb chord. Not sure what that chord is called?
Bravo Sir! Beautiful! Thank you. However, to fully appreciate such a splendid piece, you have to be in the church. I have vivid memories of our organist playing this music as the recessional hymn for Midnight Mass at our much smaller church and pipe organ. Nonetheless, to feel the notes hitting your body, and to feel the building vibrant and resonate with each note, essentially becoming a part of the instrument and music, simply cannot be captured in a simple audio recording. I would argue that with an acoustically well designed building, the organist is not just playing the organ, but is also playing the building. Hence the pauses are as important as the notes, allowing the listener to fully absorb the notes. Again, thank you.
So much could be said. Instrument and performer. This is an existential exposition. Yours is first div stuff. The T&F is tough - it puts you on show. The fugue tempo ( your presto!) is vital - it unlocks the 'dialogue'. Makes one phrase shouts at the next. Then the pedals have their say. Becomes a race. And by 9 minutes up - your smiles show you having a laugh having conquered. It was at that point I sort of said - well Fraser - let's see how you bring this home. And of course with this instrument - a stunning landing. Wonderful. Saved on my 'specials' file. All Saints stuff.
Everyone knows this piece from the opening bars of the Toccata, but the part of this piece which really makes it for me is the ending of the Fugue.. I cant begin to describe how the closing bars of the really push and pull especially those last few chords. I have not done music theory and only have heard of suspended and diminished chords, but I am sure there are some in there! spectacular. As always wonderfully presented and played by Fraser. Your videos are so entertaining compared to many other on organ's and organ music.
First time I see a video of yours. My compliments for the execution; you play the Toccata e Fuga in re minore at some higher tempo than what I usually ear it played, and that makes the execution notably much more difficult, but you go over it like nothing! Congratulations! Of J.S. Bach organ works, I like the Toccata Dorica even more, as it is even more spiritual. Thank you for sharing, and Regards from the UK.
Blown away! Fraser and the Rieger makes a very explosive combination! 👏 Fiercely wonderful! I'll remember this! A young organist here in SA, Winand Grundlingh, says he likes to play too fast and too loud:). Keep it up Fraser!
This is an amazing instrument. I believe that this organ is actually the largest organ in the Limburg diocese. It is definitely bigger than the Limburg cathedral organ. This has "only" 60 stops.
I really like the speed. One wants the struck notes to overlap with the reverb from the space acoustic. For me this is one of the best versions I have ever heard
Wow. Eine der besten Aufnahmen an einer der besten Orgel. Ich bin begeistert. Rieger hat da echt gute Arbeit geleistet, dass habe ich auch schon im Regensburger Dom erleben dürfen.
VaVaVoom! 👏👏👏🎇🧨✨🔥🔥🔥 The Fugue was too fast for my tastes, Mais c'est une question de préférence, n'est-ce pas.... The 1970+ Rieger sounds stupendous (although I wish we could have seen some shots of the beautiful organ case). Loved the 32' Kontraposaunenbaß (?) at the end. BRAVO, and thank you, Frazer.
One of the reeds on the beginning of this piece was out of tune!!! At 2:27!!! It was the D and the A on the reeds, am I correct on that??? Other than that, great performance!!!

Forgot to turn the volume down, now my house is just a pile of rubble. Totally worth it though!
My poor woofers.
Toccata: 2:15
Fugue: 4:59
One of Bach's best-known organ works played and articulated to perfection! :-)
Wow. The sound of this organ is really in your face. I love it❤❤❤❤
Wunderbare Musik, fantastische Orgel, einmaliger Organist 👍👍👍
Finally, someone plays this as a single composition, not a bunch of disconnected phrases.Thank you.
I love the beginning of the video!!! At 0:10!!! The 32 bombarde and the reeds, chamades and mixtures!!! That gives me the goosebumps!!!

Thank you for sharing.
MAG-FREAKING-NIFFICANT!!! MAN!! I enjoyed that SO much. I actually stood up from my computer and gave you a standing cyber ovation! CLAP! CLAP! CLAP!
What a great organ, what a great pice of music!
always a blessing to share Bach music
Bombastischen Klang und perfekt gespielt. Wie immer top. Das gilt natürlich auch für die Person hinter der Kamera. Gehört auch einmal gesagt (gilt natürlich auch für die anderen Videos). Danke das ihr uns Zusehern das möglich macht!!!
Superb.
There's such huge clarity from that instrument, and in the flesh those pedal notes must be bone-shaking!
Sehr gelungene Interpretation!
Danke für die 10 Minuten "abschalten! :)

Das ist einfach mein Lieblingsstück. Die Orgel hat auch so einen wunderschönen Klang. Einfach nur super!
Oh wow Fraser!!! Really enjoyed that. Nice interpretation on a cracking instrument!!!
Richtig schön 👍 wie gerne ich dieses Stück mal live hören würde.

Big Organ, Big Sound and a fantastic Organist. I Love this Video so much! 😍
Bravo! Ich frage mich was Bach wohl komponiert hätte, wenn er unsere heutigen Orgeln zur Verfügung gehabt hätte.
Hmm, komponiert -- vielleicht ähnlich. Aber womöglich hätte es dann eher so geklungen: ruclips.net/video/nZyE8Vst_kY/видео.html
Stunning!!! Gratulation!!!!
The level of excitement I felt when I read your post is indescribable! 2:32 that really woke me up!

Great. Love the tempo and consistancy, this is the way it should be played, well done Fraser.
WOW!! Powerful performance. Tempo made it so...
Very nice ! You made it look so easy . Great sound, thanks very much for posting . Take care & stay safe now !
This is certainly one of the most fun and enjoyable performances of this piece I have heard! Thank you for sharing this recording with us.
My favourite piece played magnificently thank you.
Really amazing❤️
Bravo!
Und die Orgel der Abtei sehr gut in Szene gesetzt.
Wird Zeit dass ich auch nochmal rumkomme.
Spectacular
Klingt echt gut an dieser Orgel!
Auf französich : FABULEUX - GENIAL - MERVEILLEUX ... kurz gesagt : sagenhaft !!
@ Fraser Gartshore Super gespielt und bombastisch registriert hier an der Rieger- Orgel. Die Zungenregister und diese Orgel klingt sehr gut!
Die Orgel klingt wunderbar! Sehr schön gespielt!
An amazing organ beautifully played as usual! Thank you so much for recording the Bach!!

What an amazing performance!! You are amazing Fraser!!
Ich bekomme jedes mal Gänsehaut wenn ich dieses Stück höre...
Sehr schön gespielt und interpretiert :D
That was amazing Fraser, thank you so much for that. (And me totally ignoring the warning about loud music!) 😁

WOW!!! That was fantastic. So enjoyed listening to it.
Great interpretation and performance. So fun to watch the use of both manuals. Thank you. Looking forward to more of your videos.
Ich glaube es gibt kein Instrument was so mächtig klingt und dennoch so sanft klingen kann.
Bitte mehr Videos.
One of the reeds on the beginning of this piece was out of tune!!! At 2:27!!! It was the D and the A on the reeds, am I correct on that??? Other than that, great performance!!!
A beautiful, magnificent, badass organ! Amazing sound.
Impeccable performance - n.b. a pair of delectable calves and ankles provided occasional distraction at left
